The heart of your living room: the perfect corner sofa
A corner sofa is often the heart of your living room – a place where you relax, entertain guests and spend precious moments with family. When putting together your own corner sofa, there are many choices that determine both the comfort and the appearance of this important piece of furniture. We are happy to help you make the right choices, so that creating your dream sofa becomes an enjoyable experience. In this guide, we take you through the most important aspects that you can pay attention to when creating your perfect corner sofa.
1: The advantages of a self-assembled corner sofa
With us you can put together your dream sofa completely yourself, exactly the way you want it! Imagine: a sofa that perfectly matches your living wishes and lifestyle. Choose your favorite combination of elements that fit perfectly in your living room.
In Dutch living rooms, space is often precious. With a custom-made sofa, you can make the most of every inch. Personalize your sofa exactly the way you want it – whether you like to sit back with friends during a movie night, or sit up straight during cozy conversations with family.
The best part? Your custom-made corner sofa becomes a unique statement piece of furniture that reflects your personality. A sofa that is not only comfortable, but also fits perfectly into the story of your interior.
2: What is the ideal size for your space?
The perfect size of your corner sofa depends on your living room and living preferences. We are happy to help you find the right proportions. A handy tip is to keep about 70-100 cm of walking space around the sofa free, so that your space remains airy and accessible.
Think about the balance in your living room. A sofa that is in perfect harmony with the rest of your interior creates a warm and inviting feeling. Whether you want to create a cozy corner in a compact space or a spacious lounge corner in a large living room - with us you can put together a sofa that perfectly matches your living situation.
The placement in your living room is also important. Is the sofa against a wall or is it free-standing in the space? When putting together your sofa, we think along with you about all these aspects, so that your sofa fits perfectly in your living room not only in terms of size, but also in terms of atmosphere.
3: Which fabrics suit your lifestyle?
The right fabric not only makes your sofa beautiful, but also creates the right atmosphere in your home. With us you will find a world of possibilities in beautiful fabrics and warm colours. From soft and inviting to sturdy and characterful - there is always a fabric that perfectly matches your interior wishes.
Do you have small children or pets? Then choose a fabric that can withstand a knock. For a more stylish interior, a rich velvet can be the perfect choice that gives your living room a luxurious look.
Different fabrics also bring different atmospheres. An airy fabric gives a casual look, while velvet radiates more warmth and coziness. And the color? Do you choose a timeless neutral shade or do you make a statement with a striking color? We offer you an extensive range of beautiful fabrics in countless colors and textures, so that there is always something that fits perfectly with your dream interior.
- Families with children: choose fabrics that can withstand a beating
- Pet owners: consider fabrics that are easy to keep clean
- Mood makers: play with textures and colours for a unique, personal look
- Design lovers: velvet or velour for a luxurious look
4: The perfect seat depth and height for your comfort
The comfort of your corner sofa is determined by the seat depth and height. These aspects are extremely personal and depend on your body size and seating preferences. With us, you can choose what is most comfortable for you - a deeper seat to sink into or a somewhat straighter seat for more support.
Also think about how you are going to use your sofa. For cozy movie nights, a deeper seat is often great, while for an evening with friends, a more upright seat can be nicer for conversations. The great thing about a self-assembled sofa is that you can combine different seat depths, so that everyone in the house can find their favorite spot.
Imagine: after a long day, nestling in your perfect corner sofa, precisely tailored to your comfort needs. A place that feels like a warm embrace, where you can completely unwind and where the most beautiful memories are created.
5: Choosing the right configuration and setup
Create the ideal layout that perfectly suits your living room and lifestyle. The classic L-shape fits into many interiors and is wonderfully versatile. A U-shape creates a cozy seating area where the whole family or all your friends can come together. An island layout with a chaise longue offers that extra lounge comfort without taking up much space.
When choosing the right configuration, we look together not only at the space, but also at how you use it. Where is the television? Is there a nice view that you want to use? These factors also determine whether a right or left corner works best in your living room.
Personalise your sofa to fit your life now, but be flexible enough for future changes. Some configurations can be adjusted later if your living needs change – ideal if you like a fresh breeze through your interior on a regular basis.
| Configuration | Advantages | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| L-shape | Cosy, versatile, fits in many spaces | Small to medium sized living rooms |
| U-shape | Extra seating, social, enclosing | Large spaces, families, receiving guests |
| Island/Chaise | Wonderful lounge comfort, space-saving | Medium sized spaces, relaxed atmosphere |
6: Style and design: your corner sofa as an atmosphere-setter in your interior
Your corner sofa is more than just a piece of furniture; it is the mood setter in your living room. Choose your favourite combination of elements that perfectly match your interior. Wide, soft armrests for a cosy look or slimmer armrests for a more airy look? Higher legs for a floating effect or a sofa that stands firmly on the ground? With us, you have the freedom to make these choices entirely to your own taste.
Imagine a sofa that perfectly matches your other furniture, or a statement sofa that draws attention and adds character to your living room. With the right combination of shape and color, your sofa becomes the visual heart of your interior – a place that you are proud of and where everyone wants to sit.
When putting together your dream sofa, we think along with you about how it can bring the desired atmosphere to your living room. Whether you like a warm, cozy atmosphere or a sleek, elegant look - together we create a sofa that is not only beautiful, but also completely suits you.
